Air Algerie

Like some cigarettes purport to be, it's the longest and thinnest. Turn the bag sideways, and the logo looks like an ugly flower. Incomprehensible writing on bottom.

Just like the brown bag version, but this one is printed on a white bag.

Identical to the 1992 version, except this one is manufactured by Embag, not Emepac (see bag bottom to differentiate).

Identical to the 1992 version, except this one is manufactured by Embag, not Emepac (see bag bottom to differentiate -- there's a compass/clock looking device there).

They changed their name from white on a red background to red on a white background. Also the EMBAG is now Filiale de GIPAC, whatever that means

Air Andaman

Approximate Vintage: 2003

Received From: Frederik Witte

Print or Image Color: Navy and Blue

Background / Bag Color: Navy and White

The sun in the logo looks a lot like the ATA bag. Air Andaman is a regional airline in Thailand.

Air Aruba

Approximate Vintage: 2001

Received From: Ann Meili

Print or Image Color: Aqua and Blue

Background / Bag Color: White

Avianca-like logo. Interesting euphemism: Discomfort bag.

Air Asia

Approximate Vintage: 2002

Received From: Christian Annyas

Print or Image Color: Navy

Background / Bag Color: White and Navy

While it's got the eagle head of the US Postal Service and the blocky Malaysian bag font, this bag will spare you to death. This is probably the most boring bag there is, given the amount of stuff printed on it.

A tiny airplane winds its way across the bag because the logo is in its flight path.

Air Asia Zest

Approximate Vintage: 2013

Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk

Print or Image Color: White, Red

Background / Bag Color: Red, White

Without any writing inside the Air Asia Zest logo, the bag would look like a Japanese Flag.

Air Astana

Approximate Vintage: 2005

Received From: Tim Gibson

Print or Image Color: Navy, Gold, Silver

Background / Bag Color: White

I don't know where the heck this bag is from, but the pictographical instructions on the back are darn near useless -- even for those few whose eyes can possibly see the poorly contrasting colors. In fact, the diagrams are so useless that someone who didn't already know what they represented could easily think that only right handed people are allowed to use the bag -- check it out and see.

Air Astana

Approximate Vintage: 2007

Received From: Gerhard Lang

Print or Image Color: Navy, Gold, Silver

Background / Bag Color: White

Air Astana downsizes the logo and loses the instruction, offering this more tasteful, but also more boring version.

Air Astana

Approximate Vintage: 2014

Received From: Janusz Tichoniuk

Print or Image Color: Navy, Gold, Silver

Background / Bag Color: White

Identical to the 2007 version except that the closing mechanism has changed from twist tie / wings, to fold over.

Air Atlanta

Approximate Vintage: 2005

Received From: Freymann Serge

Print or Image Color: Navy

Background / Bag Color: White

Air Atlanta will take you anywhere! (except Atlanta, GA).

Air Atlantis

Approximate Vintage: 1995

Received From: Jos Groen

Print or Image Color: Green

Background / Bag Color: White

Ugly plastic bag. No wonder Atlantis sank.

Air Austral

Received From: Matthias Koch

Print or Image Color: Blue

Background / Bag Color: White

They should call this Tafkap Airlines because the logo sure looks a lot like the symbol for "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince". By the way, Prince's real name is Rogers Nelson, ho hum.

One other thing I noticed. The French on this bag seems to literally translate to, "The French Company of Goats". I hope I'm wrong about this.

And Belgian collector Frederic Courtay confirms that I am. He says, "Your translations isn't wrong, but they want to say theat they are the airline of the Tropic of Capricorn. Quite logically, as it's an airline based on the island of Reunion, located just above the tropic."

Air Austral tones down it's odd shorthand character logo and plants it in front of a big AA.

Air Austral

Approximate Vintage: 2004

Received From: Andy Rudge

Print or Image Color: Blue

Background / Bag Color: White

Air Austral elevates the logo, but more importantly now calls themselves the French Airline of the Indian Ocean, which I sure hope isn't really the destination of most of their planes.

Air Bagan

One of the nicest barf bags from all of Myanmar (after Burma Airways and Yangon anyway)

Apparently, this barf bag is the treasure of Myanmar. Come on, surely there's more to be proud of than your air sickness bags. Note the fancy pattern on the back of this bag.
